Part IV speaks to statistical inference with content covering confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, chi-square tests and F-distributions. The final part explores additional statistical inference and assumptions, including correlation, regression, and nonparametric statistics. Helpful appendices provide students with an index of terminology, an index of applications, a glossary of symbols, and a guide to the most common R commands.
